The SBA received a request on July
15, 2004 to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for Sporting and Athletic Goods
Manufacturing. In response, on July 30,
2004, SBA published in the Federal
Register a notice of intent to the waiver
of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for
Sporting and Athletic Goods
Manufacturing.
SBA explained in the notice that it
was soliciting comments and sources of
small business manufacturers of this
class of products. In response to this
notice, comments were received from
interested parties. SBA had determined
from these sources that there were no
small business manufacturers of this
class of products, and therefore granted
the waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
for Sporting and Athletic Goods
Manufacturing, NAICS 339920.
Recently, SBA discovered the
existence of a small business
manufacturer of this class of products.
Accordingly, based on the available
information, SBA has determined that
there is a small business manufacturer
of this class of products, and is therefore
considering terminating the class waiver
of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for
Sporting and Athletic Goods
Manufacturing, NAICS 339920.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17).
